In
Your Head Wrestling interviewed Big Vito about him being on the WWE
Turkey List, how Joey Styles has changed recently and how he is
responsible for Vince Russo getting into wrestling.
About the
WWE Turkey List: Vito thought WWE insulted him by putting him on this
list and how his family was very upset about the mention. He also asked
how they can post an article insulting people when the company is part of the "Be a Star" program.
About John Laurinaitis releasing him: Vito says that John was in the
WWE when he was hired and fired. He was given his release because of the
usual "creative have nothing for you," when he was in developmental
working on a Muay Thai gimmick and was preparing for a return to TV.
About the dress gimmick: Vito was asked if he preferred the Italian
tough guy gimmick or the tough guy in a dress gimmick. Vito prefers the
dress since it allowed him to be more creative. He still enjoys doing it
today.
About his relationship with Joey Styles: Vito says that
he has tried to call Styles several times, but has not gotten a
response. He claims Joey has changed recently and he doesn't know where
he stands with him.
About Vince Russo: Vito talks about how he
and Vince Russo did a radio show together before Russo went to work for
WWE Magazine. Vito takes credit for talking him into applying for the
job.
